Celtics Considered Unlikely To Trade For Jakob Poeltl
The Boston Celtics are considered unlikely to sign Jakob Poeltl at the deadline, sources tell Jay King of The Athletic.
The Celtics are searching for another big man, but a team acquiring Poeltl would likely be positioned to offer him the starting job next season. Poeltl will be a free agent in the offseason.
For Boston, Poeltl would be a third big man and give them injury depth behind Rob Williams and Al Horford.
The Celtics are also more willing to play small lineups now.
